I've been getting these things since before I started school.
"So a woman in my office was a surrogate for her best friend and had the baby in the summertime. Now they both had to have lawyers. She had the baby and gave it to her friend. Now her friend and her husband are trying to baptize the baby. Unfortunately they have not been able to put her friend's name on the birth certificate and they called the lawyer today who is now saying he is going to drop the case because its hopeless for them to have legal custody of it. I think they were trying to adopt the baby. The lawyer also said the next hearing is in 2010 and they just had one a month ago. Now there is two issues, #1-They need a good surrogate attorney to get legal custody of the baby. #2-In my opinion sue the lawyer who they paid up front to finish the deal. Do you know of anyone?"
I went to the "Bing" today. Officially titled the Central Punitive Segregation Unit, or CPSU, it is the "jail-within-the-jail" on Rikers Island. It is where the worst inmates in New York City are located.
I could call them savages and I'd be right.
I could tell you I felt sorry for them but I'd be lying.
I will say that watching these monsters in their 23-hour a day lockdown cells, stripped of all perks, all reading materials, all snacks, all things that inmates take for granted was an experience.
I'll also say that the best part of not being free is knowing how many things you take for granted. I realized this on Astoria Blvd, an ugly thoroughfare near La Guardia airport: I realized I could look and see things as far as the eye could see. I could see colors and shades; I could hear people shouting, buses screeching and jackhammers pounding; I could feel the breeze and taste it. In jail, you can't do any of these things. By being locked down, you're essentially told what to
see.It's a concept that made me realize
Astoria Blvd is beautiful.

This had to be a typo but there's someone on Rikers with a $4 Bail.
"Hey, I'd bail you out but I wanna buy these snack wraps."
LMFAO
